Dad's Brithday- how to celebrate a deceased family members birthday

Dad's Birthday- 

how to celebrate a deceased family members birthday

Today is my father's birthday. He would have been 88 if he was alive on earth. Naturally he is celebrating well, I hope in heaven. Of course, Dad is still very much part of my life, and I believe that he is helping me in the ways I need from heaven.

I have been reflecting on my dad and been reminiscing and the many happy times we spent together.

I wondered what other people do since this is the second birthday without him.  So I found this article. You may be interested.  Read more:

So, I would like on his special day as I remember him fondly to share the following poem.

Everything Dad

A little girl needs her daddy
To love her with manly charm,
To soothe her when she’s hurt,
And keep her safe from harm.

A girl needs her dad
To show her a man who’s good,
To help her make right choices,
As only a father could.

A woman needs her father
Just to be aware,
He’ll always be there for her
To sustain her and to care.

You’ve been all these things, Dad.
I hope that you can see
How much I treasure you;
You mean everything to me.

By Joanna Fuchs

Happy birthday dad- celebrate well in heaven.  Love you always.
